Summary: Excellent Camera bag and more
Comment: This product was recommended to me by a friend. I purchased it only days before a 15 day cruise to 6 countries and 3 continents! It worked great for the camera and so much more because of all the different pouches and zippered pockets while remaining a slim profile. It did double duty as my purse too so I did not have to worry about two separate items to carry when on excursions off the cruise ship.
Great price, quick ship, love this product!

Summary: Side Pack is perfect
Comment: We recently used our Canon PSC-1 Side Pack on a trip to NYC and it was perfect! It's a great, roomy size that can fit the camera and all its paraphenelia (memory cards, connection cables, etc) plus a guide book or two and our wallets. It comes with many different pockets and compartments, plus one that's perfect for hiding money. Yet, it's small enough to stay compact and super light for all-day carrying. I like the extra-long strap as well, it made it easy to carry over one shoulder (across our bodies) safely. Plus, you can't beat the price - it was much cheaper than some of the heavy-duty bags we had looked at.

Summary: Not what I expected...
Comment: The product was absolutely not what I expected. I believed it was a small bag for the camera. Maybe my fault. Just for you to know, it's a rather big bag for at least 2 cameras and accessorie. What can I say... I don't use it.

Summary: Unusual bag, surprising utility
Comment: This is not a straight camera case or even bag, so to speak, but nevertheless I've found it very useful as a field bag, and the price is extremely attractive. There is room for far more than a small digital camera, and I suspect Canon just never correctly marketed the real utility of this item, after reading another review.
Professional photographers have scads of choices in dedicated equipment bags; everyday shooters are prone to grab the nearest tote if they need more than just a protective sheath for the camera.
As has been mentioned already, there is room in this bag for field guides, camera manuals, power cords, batteries, keys, wallets, etc; it's a great small messenger-type bag overall. I have started using it in place of a shoulder bag from time to time.
One quibble: instead of the small (velcro-attached) shelf available in the main compartment, insert an attached bag, or slipcase, dedicated to the camera itself, in order to protect the LCD from scratches, and provide quick retrieval. I'd be happy to buy it again with that improvement.
With the current design, many people will just throw the camera into the main compartment with who knows what else. And then they will of course complain when the LCD gets beaten up.

Summary: Good buy
Comment: I got this bag for only 12 bucks including shipping. Its a great buy. Its not a cheap bag. I measured what the bag would look like before I ordered but it seems smaller in person. The main compartment is felt lined so it will protect your camera from scratches etc. I have a Canon G6 which is a bit bulky compare to other canon cameras so it will be a snug fit. I would have preferred the bag to be a little bit bigger but for 12 bucks, I cant complain too much. Its a nice looking bag and I agree with previous comments that it doesnt look like a "tourist camera bag". I like that. I liked to blend in on vacations NYC etc and dont want to advertise that Im carrying an expensive camera.
